Automatically updating possible answers to a form

Copper Contributor

Hello everyone,

I’m creating a multiple choice question form using Microsoft Forms, and I would like to allow for answers submitted using the “Other” option to become a possible choice for the next form users.

Example :

User 1 answers the form :

"What is your favorite color ?

  • Red
  • Yellow
  • Other [type answer here]"

User 1 selects the “Other” option and types “Blue”.

Following this, User 2 wants to answer the form. It now displays :

"What is your favorite color ?

  • Red
  • Yellow
  • Blue
  • Other [type answer here]"

Does anyone know how I could implement this feature?

Thank you so much in advance

@GLavigne there is absolutely no way to do that with Microsoft Forms.

@GLavigne thinking about it a bit more, it could be done with Power Apps where the "Blue" is patched to a SharePoint list and then that list is queried as the data source for the dropdown values.

@RobElliott that would be amazing, thank you so much for figuring it out ! 

Do you know where I could learn to do that? Is there some kind of page/website that might explain the process?

Thank you lots again, you're a lifesaver ! :)
